Gun fanatics and constitutional scholars.
Only some of the latter. The constitutional scholars who are also gun fanatics, yes.
We need to go back to the "well-regulated militia" interpretation not the "individual rights" interpretation. But even under Heller, gun control is legal, so the "support the second amendment" talk has no bearing on what the gun control advocates want. But as usual, the opponents of progress (like Cruz and Trump) are not concerned with accuracy, just slogans.
Let's make a deal. I will consider dialing back my support to the ILA in return for something. Namely, realization of the Restoration of the Republic described in Gary Hart's PhD thesis (which became a published book).
Well, thanks for the generous offer, but I can't agree about two things of which I know nothing about (and again acronyms are not my strong suit; ILA???).
